London Theatre Breaks

Musicals, plays, shows, hotels and attractions for theatre breaks in London midweek or weekend

Rain Man Shaftesbury Apollo

Rain Man with Joseph Hartnett and Adam Godly continues at the Shaftesbury Apollo until Dec 20th. It’s the same story as the Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise film, but performed live on the London Stage.

Recently, Hartnell has been greeted at the Stage Door by screaming girls clamouring for an autograph from the handsome film star!

Josh Hartnett is mainly well-known amongst younger audiences for the films Forty Days and Forty Nights and Pearl Harbour. After Pearl Harbour – which was received with very lukewarm reviews – Hartnett decided he wanted to be taken more seriously, almost turning his back on acting altogether. In fact, he was so reluctant to be a teen heart-throb that he turned down the role of Superman.

Rain Man on Stage

The story of the selfish car salesman who learns to love and save his business has been adapted by Dan Gordon and director David Grindley.

Gordon has adapted films Terms Of Endearment and Murder In The First for the stage, while Grindley has directed Abigail’s Party among other West End productions.
